Well we just came back from a visit at the new house. It was really sad actually. The people we are buying the place from, Michael and May, are in their 80's and have lived in the house for 27 years. We found out not long after we first looked at the place that Michael had cancer and they did'nt think he had long to go. So he was in and out of hospital for a while and the other day the agent went out to visit them and an ambulance was rushing him to hospital. He died. We were always going to go up there before settlement date so that he could show Brent around the place properly, but we did'nt get the chance. So we went up there today anyways and the May showed us around. Brent and I were a little apprehensive about going up, but she was considerably good. May just brought a house in the city and then Michael died. Brent made a comment while we were up there which i think suprised us all because her children had said the same thing. He said that the old man, Michael, must have been holding on until he knew that May was safe. It was the right thing to say at the right time! She held herself together so beautifully. I really felt for her.
So anyways, May is leaving us so much stuff. She went through the house and asked us if we wanted to keep this and that. Because you can imagine what a couple their age living on acreage has stashed away. We just said whatever you's can't move leave it there and we will see if we want it or not otherwise we will get rid of it for them. We can't wait to get out there. It really came home that this was OUR HOME now. I never thought the day would come. I am really proud of myself actually. I'm 22 and just brought a house to live in with my partner of 6 years and our new daughter!! What a spin out!!:eek:
I went to Target today and brought myself $200 worth of awesome clothes! I would'nt normally spend that much, but i got $1700 back on tax and thought i would treat myself to some new clothing! I went on the right day cause they had a clearance sale on all womens clothing sizes 16-18. Perfect timing! Tomorrow i am going shopping again to but some things for the new house out of the rest of the money. Shopping Shopping Shopping!! It great exercise and very tiring!!
Shazz - Hope all goes well with Nick. I imagine its quite a scary time for you all. Here's a hug!!
Tannis - It's good to hear that Jayden has put on some weight. I know it ain't much but it's better than nothing hey! Are you and your partner a small build?? Maybe he is just going to be a small baby?? Don't worry to much. He'll probably grow up and be the ginormous basketball player!!
Vic - You poor darling!! Sick again.... Like Kim said, I think you guys need a holiday!! You guys live on the sunny coast though don't you?? It should be a permanent holiday down there. It does get cold during winter they hey. Bring on Summer!!!
Lea - Your father's day idea sound great. I wish i was crafty enough to do something like that. The craftiest things i have done was collages and i once accidetly broke a mirror so i brought a frame and broke the mirror into peices, spray painted the frame silver and super glued the mirror around the frame. It really did look awesome and i still have it. This was when i was 16 though. I am just going to buy Brent a Garth Brooks cd box set i think. He will love it i know. Not sure what i will get him from Briley. Something sweet anyhow. I'm not sure what happening with Briley's gums. Maybe what you said about the hardening could be right. I can see shape of the teeth under the gums though. I'm going to see a health nurse tomorrow to get her weighed and measured so i'll have to ask. Yeah the trip was spur of the moment but good. I was glad to catch up with my cousins. They even took me to an engagement party with them. I had my mum and aunty babysit Briley and I had a ball. I was sad and anxious to leave Briley though.
Kim - Sorry to hear the needles did'nt go well. I am soooooo not looking forward to Briley's 4 months shots. At least i have a month to prepare myself for it!! Darcy sounds like she is going through the same stage as Briley. The screaming i mean. Briley seems to be doing a lot of that at different times. I feel helpless when i can't calm her. Hope they both get over it soon!!
Beck - Not sure we have spoken before, but anyways.....Hello!! You'll probably have to update me on what is happening with Jovi's hips and the *****y workmate issue?!? I also was curious of a few comments you made that gave me the impression that your DP stays at home with Jovi. Is that right??? Not something you hear much of...the man staying at home with the kids!! Brent, my DP, said he would if i could earn as much as he did!! I don't think that's likely to happen!! Keep us posted on Jovi.
Well, looks as if i have written another mammoth post!! Sorry!!! Hope all is well with everyone else. Will be back on tomorrow, hopefully with a smaller post. See how my day goes.
